Am G Am
On the fifth of November back in ’53
G Am
The big man at Dolphin, sure he sent for me
G Am
We’ve brought you here boy ’cause we want you to know
G Am
We’ve booked you a berth in the water below
[Chorus]
Am
With the diesel and shale
G Am
Diesel and shale
Am
We’ve booked you a berth
G Am
With the diesel and shale
[Verse]
Am G Am
But when I protested I’m no volunteer
G Am
He says ”We ain’t had one in many’s the year
G Am
But that’s a wee secret, between you and me:
G Am
There’s many’s the pressed man down under the sea
With the diesel and shale...
G Am
Diesel and shale
E Am
There's many the pressed man with the Diesel and shale
[Verse]
Am G Am
Oh doctor, dear doctor, I don’t think I’m well
G Am
Well never mind sonny, we’ll very soon tell
G Am
Try holding your breath while I count up to three
G Am
There! That shows your fit to go under the sea
With the diesel and shale...
G Am
Diesel and shale
E Am
That shows your fit with the Diesel and shale
[Verse]
Am G Am
I went to the store room to gather me rig
G Am
They gave me a sweater ten sizes too big
G Am
And I crawled down that boat, like an old polar bear
G Am
I says to meself there’s a smell in the air
And its diesel and shale...
